The world today is filled with a lot of challenges and dangers especially with all the crimes and disasters shown by the media. These can be found in almost all media vehicles, in TVs, radios, newspapers, internet and cellphones. With all these tragedies and crime around us, we can uplift our lives with joyful poems.
Poems are collated words that is used to express an idea or emotion, which uses metaphors, imagery, or sound patterns to send the message to the audiences. They are made up of verses rather than prose. It has many elements that contribute to the effectiveness and beauty of the literature such as rhythm, sound, line and stanza, voice, figure of speech, and many others.
One element is the form, which can be flexible such as in free verses, where there is almost no rhythm and rhyme and these are becoming less structured over the generations. Still, it is easy to distinguished it from a prose through its form because it retains its basic structure which can easily be found in many free verses. Many classic styles does not conform to these standards just to have better emphasis for effect.
It has three primary types, which are narrative, descriptive, and lyric poems, with other subtypes such as haiku, ballads, limericks, free verse, sonnets, epics, odes, and many more. Lines of word that are grouped together are known as stanzas and they are separated by a space or an empty line, which is similar to a paragraph in a story or any written composition. Though stanzas are usually made of the same amount of lines, it is not necessary to have stanzas.
A way to enhance the effect of the poem is through sound play or patterns, which is very complex itself. Examples of these are alliteration, rhyme, assonance, repetition, onomatopoeia, euphony, consonance and refrain. The most commonly used among them is the rhyme where the syllables at the end of each line is similar to each other or sounds alike.
Rhythm is the pattern in which a poet chooses the sequence of stressed and unstressed syllables to create oral patterns. Meter or metric is the stressing of these syllables so when the reader reads it aloud it will not sound monotonous, but in different tones. Your voice rises and falls as if you are singing, which is sometimes in unconscious manner.
Figurative language is wording that makes comparison between things, senses, or emotions through the use of figures of speech. Some of the figures of speech uses are simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, symbolism, allegory, and irony. However, imagery is the use of words to convey vivid, concrete sensory experience which creates a mental image about the subject of the poem.
It can include vivid details on sensory experiences of touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste that is beyond normal description. The voice of the work refers to how it was presented to the audience as in first or third person. Although in many poems the poet is the one speaking, there are instances where the poet and the speaking character are not the same individual.
In literary terms, the tone is referring to how the author feels on that certain subject, which will be reflected on the work. It may indicate feelings such as sadness, joy, confusion, anger, amusement and many others. The tone of joyful poems may evoke a happy, hopeful and loving feelings.
